A dance that speaks about the Lord's covering. The tallit and wing flags both represent his intercession and protection over us. I always dance the flags out through the aisle as the song comes to a close. There is often a hush and quiet weeping as the silky, white 9-feet long flags sweep gently over the people.





Some other songs that are choreographed with the wing flags:



Holy, Holy, Holy Israel's Hope Arise, O Lord

Think lots of white and gold. Flags, dancers, tallits. It's a piece that builds to a controlled crescendo and then leaves you with the most beautiful peaceful, serene ending you can imagine.



Agnus Dei Michael W. Smith Go West Young Man

(I sometimes choreograph this as a duet with an angelic figure and a young Mary figure who tell the story of the annunciation through the dance. It begins with the 'angel' overshadowing Mary's prone body with the wing flags. At the conclusion, Mary dances with the angel in celebration of the coming Messiah.



Gloria in Excelsis Deo Hosanna Integrity Behold the Lamb

an exhuberant praise song, can be solo or others added. If I have long silks anchored at the ceiling, I like to use them to enhance this piece as well.
